who am I? That's a good question...when you are my age, you have no clue WHAT you are, but here's what I know right now..., I'm from Illinois, right outside the Chicago area born and raised., I am a musician by choice, playing flute, sing, and most importantly, I drum., I am a junior in high school...please kill me. -.-, I have an obsession with the musical Rent. Seen it on Broadway with Frenchie FTW! ^^, My favorite band is The Academy Is... followed by Cobra Starship and Bedlight For Blue Eyes., I watch American Idol like a religion...it's kind of sick, really. (An Arch Angel...ha.), I have never actually SEEN The Academy Is... live and it is my greatest wish to even see one song by them live., My idol is JFK as well as Jonathan Larson (creator of the musical RENT), I want to major in film and direct music videos., I love music more than air., I never go anywhere without my Ipod., I hate my work., I am a dreamer and a schemer., I am (MOST) definitely the kid, that Gabe "came here to make you dance tonight.", And yeah, I AM the kid that your mother warned you about, and I'm damned proud of it!!, Let's talk.
